"Wait for meeeeee!" The big black paws bumbled through the terrible heaps of slush and loam and snow. He refused to be left behind. He'd been tracking Keki all this way - and now that Kai was finally found, he wasn't going to get left behind. The storm was a shock to the little pup. He'd seen plenty of them from the warm, cozy safety of the pack cave, but this was his first time ever being out in the middle of one. He didn't like it! Not one bit! The rain was all....all....WET!

Bleck!

And yet... for how much he disliked the drag on his coat and the cold in his bones, there was something amazing about it. From the pack cave he had always thought storms - and all of Glaciem - beautiful. Being in danger didn't make it any less beautiful... just more interesting.

His little pink tongue lolled out as he hitched up his paws, trying hard to keep up with the quickly fading silloettes of wolves. They seemed to disappear into a hillside. Was that a cave? He rushed bravely into the blackness, skidding to a halt in the sand that now decided to cling to his wet paws. "Brrrr." He shuddered looking back over his shoulders.

The pup had absolutely no thought for the suprrise and worry his sudden appearance might cause the grown-ups. His mind was on the other pup in the cave. Cross had seen his big old sister getting worried about her missing pup and when Keki had gone out of the pack cave to look for him, Cross had called to his dozing mother that he was going with her. Crusade had thought nothing of it- the three mothers often took care of eachother's pups. But Cross hadn't told Keki, he was coming along. Hadn't thought to. He'd sprinted around, tumbling over roots and sniffing for any sign of his 'cousin'.

"Kai!" he called, now that he'd finally caught up to him. "Where do you t'ink you were going?" He sat up straight and tall, his fore paws together and his little chest puffed out. "You is a big, strong, warrior, but it's against rules to leave wiffout telling anyone." The ridiculousness of the situation didn't dawn on Cross. He was dead serious. "Don't you know you coulda been eated?" He nashed his pearly teeth to show what he'd meant. He'd been listening to lots of the old Glaciem stories about bears and just recently had spoken with Miss Midnight about the half blind bear she'd seen.
